Free Printables for Kids - Coloring Pages & Games 

Everything on this page is free to download, print and keep. No subscription, no catch.

What makes these different from the usual free printables is where they come from. Instead of generic clip art, we restore antique board games, nineteenth-century coloring books, cut-out models and decorative papers from museum collections and old library holdings — then prepare them as clean, high-resolution files you can print at home.

The Game of the Owl below was printed in France over a century ago. The Saint Nicholas game came from a Dutch workshop. The craft papers are William Morris patterns. Your children get to play with them this afternoon.

 Printable Board Games  

Before board games came in boxes, they came as single folded sheets, printed and hand-coloured by the same engravers who made maps and almanacs. The Game of the Goose was the most widely played of them all, printed in dozens of regional variants across Europe for three hundred years.

Print the board on the heaviest paper your printer takes, or in two halves taped behind. Counters go on thin card. Twenty minutes of assembly, then an afternoon of play.

 Vintage Coloring Books 

These come from real books: French coloring albums printed between 1880 and 1930, with line work drawn by illustrators who also worked on children's novels and school prizes. The animals are anatomically right, the plants are real species, and the line is fine enough to reward careful colouring.

Print on ordinary paper for crayons, on something heavier if your child uses felt tips. A4 works on any home printer.

 Cut-Outs and Craft Papers 

Paper animals to assemble, puppet models to cut out, and forty sheets of William Morris pattern paper for scrapbooking, origami, gift wrap and collage. Because you keep the file, you never run out mid-project — the usual problem with craft paper bought by the pack.

Print the cut-outs on 160 to 200 gsm so the folds hold. The pattern papers work on anything from 100 gsm up.

Looking for something to frame?

Our free files are made to be played with, cut up and coloured in. If you're after something for the wall instead, our printable wall art is drawn for children's rooms and supplied in six ratios, ready for standard frames.
